Year: 2005

Lyrics:

Sunshine, won't you be my mother
Sunshine, come and help me see
My heart is darker than these oceans
My heart is frozen underneath

We are crooked souls trying to stay up straight
Dry eyes in the pouring rain where
The shadow proves the sunshine
The shadow proves the sunshine
Too scared little run-aways
Hold fast to the break of daylight where
The shadow proves the sunshine
The shadow proves the sunshine

Oh, Lord, why did you forsake me?
Oh, Lord, don't be far away (away)
Storm clouds, gathering beside me
Please, Lord, don't look the other way

I'm a crooked soul trying to stay up straight
Dry eyes in the pouring rain where
The shadow proves the sunshine
The shadow proves the sunshine
Too scared little run-aways
Hold fast to the break of daylight where
The shadow proves the sunshine
The shadow proves the sunshine

Yeah, shine on me (x3)
Shine on me

Oh, oh, oh

Yeah, crooked souls trying to stay up straight
Dry eyes in the pouring rain where
The shadow proves the sunshine
The shadow proves the sunshine
Too scared little runaways
Hold fast to the break of daylight where
The shadow proves the sunshine
The shadow proves the sunshine

Yeah, shine on me (x3)
Shine on me, let my shadows prove your sunshine

"I believe in Christianity as I believe that the sun has risen: not only because I see it, but because by it I see everything else."

-C.S. Lewis

I see a lot of people talking about how they're athiests on here, but Switchfoot actually speaks to them.

Switchfoot is the band that lead me to God.

I had always seen God as a "Get Out of Free Card" made up so that the church can control us. Then I heard "On Fire" and realized that there is more to life than living in fear of a distant being that I wasn't even sure was real. The passion I felt in my soul listen to that song was my first connection to God. I had never felt His reality before.

LOL @some of the atheists on here making up excuses why they like this beautiful Christian song.

You dont need to be a believer of God to be a believer of faith and spirit.
